"The VBAC Doula" for the Charlotte Area
I have taken the best and most important parts from several of the best and most sought out
childbirth education methods around, and combined them into one comprehensive series. Twelve
2-hour classes will cover the following topics:
- Prenatal Nutrition & Exercise
- Emotional Health During Pregnancy and Postpartum
- Anatomy and Physiology of Pregnancy and Childbirth
- Optimal Fetal Positioning for an Easier Birth
- Natural Comfort Measures and Pain Management
- Medical Pain Management
- Common Pregnancy and Childbirth Interventions—Risks, Benefits, and Alternatives
- Writing a Flexible & Realistic Birth Plan
- Sexuality in Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Postpartum
- Newborn Care Procedures in the Hospital and at Home
- Breastfeeding
- The Postpartum Family

Private and/or customized classes designed to suit your specific needs are also available.

"The truth for women living in a modern world is that they must take increasing responsibility for
the skills they bring into birth if they want their birth to be natural. Making choices of where and
with whom to birth is not the same as bringing knowledge and skills into your birth regardless of where
and with whom you birth."

Classes generally meet in Pineville, NC, but depending on how many couples are attending and what
works for everyone, we can arrange an alternate meeting location if everyone agrees. I try to be
flexible with class days/times (including evenings and weekends) in order to accommodate my students
as much as possible.
